The restless Bohemian is one of the

Southern Tobacco Journal: AS to the

that the planters are waking up to see
the error of their ways. AS rule,
they are sick of tobacco throughout

we'll the planters will succeed in this

ROCKINGHAM FARMERS.

A correspondent writing from
Green Springs, in the northwestern
corner of the county,. says:
The farmers of this neighborhood
have been in the past extensive raisers
of tobacco. At present prices they
say they cannot afford to raise it at all,
and think our people would be much
more prosperous if our farmers would
enter into an agreement, as has been
done in Kentucky, to limit the amount
of hills to 5000 to each hand and
under no circumstances produce more.
They advise that some concert of ac
ton be taken among farmers that
pledges be signed limiting the crop to
that amount; for unless this is done
the evil will continue, as some men,
under the impression that others will
raise less, will pitch heavier crops and
the evil will still assail u.s. The farm
ers advise that some one take the
matter in hand and see if such an

one. Let all after culture be on the
surface. By all means keep ahead of
the grass. Do nice, thorough work
and make big crops per acre, There
is where the money comes in The
corn crop is an important one and
should not be neglected.
j. II. Robbins: l am preparing my
ground for corn on different plan
from any previous plan. I broke it
last fall with two-horse turn-plow.
When | go to plant, I shall bed up in
five-feet rows. In the centre between
these beds I will run ffteen-inch 60
fer it's full length, drawn by two hor-
ses. Drop the corn three feet apart in
the drill and cover with double plow.
Just before first plowing, make lib
eral application of good manure by the
side of every hill Then with shallow
running, rn-plow, throw the dirt to
the young corn. All after culture
should be done with cultivator or
sweep, and lay by level, sowing down
oats at my last cultivation. l intend
to raise corn for my own purposes and
likely some to spare.
T. j. Finch: Plow all upland in fall
unless very sandy, and bottom land
in spring Cross break in spring. Plant
three and half feet each way, and
thin to one stock. I plow the corn
deep the first time gofer or bull tongue,
then shallow afterward. 1t is better
to manure after the corn is up. Put
manure by the corn. Plow as often as
needed. Never wait for ground to get
hard. Lay by level. Make your own
corn; never buy. Use double plow
in cultivating. D. M. PAYNE.

DEHORNING CATTLE IS PROFIT
f.. ABLE.

D. H. Morris asks for some ones
opinion of the practice of dehorning
cattle, and as [ have just come from a
herd of three hundred, all fed in one
lot, feel that what [ say is practical
and not theoretical. In Hardin county,
Iowa, there is to-day over five hundred
head all dehorned, and it would make
Mr.. M. smile, and exclaim in the Ian
guage of the poet, 'them's my senti-
ments tew," to see from sixteen to
twenty steers drink around one tank
as quietly as sheep, or munching hay
from a rack, with six hundred pound
one without the least fear. AS regards
looks it is great improvement. AS
to cruelty, it is not SO severe as cas-
tration.
The horns are sawed off close to
the head, which allows the hair to
cover the wound, and to all appear
ance they look as if there never had
been a horn ON their heads. Some
parties here apply some preparation to
stop the flow of blood, while others
just let them 60 and never pay any
more attention to them.
H. H. Hooff, in the Ohio State
Register, says: l will lap down eight
propositions, and promise you that
within six months all, save the Scribes
and Pharisees, will be converted to
dehorning cattle
l. 1t will save yearly the loss of
two hundred lives in the United
States
q 1t will save the lives Of two hun
dred thousand cattle and horses.
3. 1t will save nearly all loss of
calves by abortion.
4. 1t will save twenty-five per cent.
of hay and ten per cent of grain feed.
). On cattle that run loose it will
save one half the manure.
6. 1t will save half the shed room.
Z. 1t will save all loss in shipping
cattle.
8. 1t is not cruel but humane No
man who clips dogs ears or the tails
of lambs or pigs, ought ever to CEN

MT. PLEASANT GRANGE.

Regular meeting of Mt. Pleasant
Grange, No. 81, P. of H., St. Johns
Grange Hall, April 2, 1887
The Grange met and was opened in
due form in the 4th degree, Worthy
Master, G. E. Ritchie in the chair.
The minutes of last regular order
of business taken up.
Worthy Lecturer, H. c. McAllister
reported that two of the committee
appointed by this Grange to attend
the farmers convention held at Raj
eigh on the 26th of January, viz. ::
Worthy Master Ritchie and himself,
had attended said convention, the
proceedings Of which had appeared in
the State papers and consequently
were doubtless known to the mem
bers present at this meeting He
added, however, that he was well
pleased with the work Of the conven-
tion, which he thought was a success.
About 400 farmers were present. He
thought that the organization had
taken strong hold on the farmers of
the State. The next meeting of the
convention will be held in Greensboro
in January next.
Worthy Master Ritchie stated that
the farmers State organization recog-
nizes all farmers organizations, and
therefore includes the Grange. In
order that the wo,k may be still more
beneficial to farmers, he thought that
there should be more organizations in
this county, adding that resolution
stating in substance that the Grange
is the best farmers organization had
been introduced ip and adopted by
the convention.
The following resolution was intro
duced and adopted:
Resolved, That this Grange is
ready and willing to cooperate with
other farmers organizations in pro-
tecting the rights Of farmers, and ad-
vancing the cause of agriculture, and
that we are ready to assist in organic
ing farmers associations be the same
in the form of clubs or Oranges, and
parties desiring information of the
SUBJECT OF OrSan1zaC1On are requested
to address the Secretary of Mt. Pleas
ant Grange, Mt Pleasant, N. G.
On motion, G. E. Richie, M. Dove,
and H. T. J. Ludwig were authorized
to assist in behalf of this Grange, in
forming clubs and Oranges wherever
application shall have been made for
assistance
A communication from the Secretary
Of the State Grange was explained. Re-
cess of one hour.
The w. M. called the Grange to
order at p. M.
The Worthy Lecturer delivered a
very interesting discourse on the sub
ject of drainage. A discussion fol-
lowed on the subject of education, the
members generally taking part. The
best method of cultivating crops was
adopted as the subject for discussion
Of the next regular meeting. Motion
to adjourn prevailed.
